I have owned this bra for a few weeks now. After I received it in the mail i ordered 2 more right away. I have been a fan of the Wacoal full cup retro bra for years. This Chantelle supports me better than the wacoal one but doesn't lift me up as high. I choose to switch anyway because this bra I feel sexy in whether my clothes are on or off. The retro bra I feel sexy in with my clothes on but wouldn't want my man to see me in it. There is an elastic that goes along the top of the breast, so you need to get the right cup size. I do think this elastic keeps you from spilling out of the bra. Love it, you most likely will too. I am a size 32 DDD in us, I converted via the size chart to a 32E and it fits great.

I am a fan of Panache bras, but usually they are a little uncomfortable during the first couple of wears, but hey, when you have voluptuous breast the extra support is indeed needed. Anyway, the first thing I noticed when I tried her on was how comfortable and relaxed I felt all while being strapped in by 3 hooks. (Just for reference I am a 38HH). This is definitely an everyday wear ladies. It provides more than enough support without discomfort or the brown/black bruises on your shoulders. Will definitely purchase again.

I am an animal trainer: Dogs & Horses, primarily. I also am a Search & Rescue Volunteer, so hills, slippery terrain, running and jumping are a regular part of each and every day in my life. The Freya sports bra is simply amazing: no bounce, no slip, breathable, and moisture wicking with convertible straps which accommodates different tops. Smooth under t-shirts, attractive profile as well. None of the hideous "uniboob" of other brands. The construction and materials are top-notch, no fraying or stretching even after 1 year of use. I will NEVER purchase any other brand. I am am FREYA FAN FOR LIFE.

I only buy bras online now and ever since I bought Freya's bra-sized swimwear, I love their stuff. This is BY FAR the best fitting bra I've ever owned. It's comfortable, supportive, only 2 hooks (somehow, but it works) and doesn't have any weird puckers or lines under clothing. I tend to "spill out" of most things and this is perfect for large chests without being an "old lady minimizer" type. If you're on the fence because it's so expensive, just buy it. You'll be glad you did.

I've been purchasing and wearing this style bra for five years and it is the best made underwire I have purchased. I am very large busted and have been buying underwire bras for 30+ years. The Fantasie bra holds up well and lasts very well. Even the five year old bra is still in the closet and I now wear it to work in the garden. I look better than I ever did working in the yard! (and the rest of the time too). I love shopping with Bare Necessities, always quality merchandise.

This is a cute/sexy bra, fits true to size, but I wish it had a little padding. The material is super thin and I can't wear it without two layers (nipples can be seen if it's cold!). Support is nice, and I love the way it looks!

This was my first time trying a Charnos bra and while it didn't work this time, I will definitely keep them in mind in the future! This was cute and supportive, it was just the teeeeniest bit too big in the cups

This bra provides great support, lift and forward projection. I am having some issues with fit but I believe it is because I am in-between sizes; I am trying this in a cup size up to see if that resolves my issues. Side note - the bra will be heavily starched when new; a hand wash or two will give you a nicely soft bra.

This bra changed my life. I've now been able to be far more active that I have been in years. It's British sized so make sure to take your measurements before you buy. I love Freya and Panache bras so this sports bra works so well for me.

Mother of three, now late teens and lets just say gravity is not my friend, especially at this size. I have very large, dense and heavy breasts and a small rib cage, not an easy combo to fit. I hate when a bra gives that rounded shape that overlaps your arm, it just makes me feel fat and this helps keep things forward and the internal sling side support helps define my shape and keep that overlap away. This however also makes the breast seem a bit larger. I found the band to be a bit tight and went up a size for comfort, normally a 32J I purchased the 34HH. I'm happy with the bra and the way it supports, it has me lifted and forward. Only negative is I wish it came in nude.

Pros: comfy, soft fabric, medium support, good for lower impact sports, sweat-wicking, easy to put on/take off, racerback conversion is great.
Cons: the Panache brand sticker came rubbed off on my clothes (on both of mine), not a good choice if you need to jump a lot or do inversions (handstands, etc.).
I own two of these and wear them regularly for biking. I wanted something comfy and easy to put on since I bike to work and usually change once I'm there.

I love this bra! I've been wearing it for a few weeks now. With pregnancy and nursing, I went up 3 cup sizes, and it hasn't been easy finding a good bra. It fits great, true to size and gives good support. I love that it's a nursing bra, but looks and feels like a regular bra. Much more attractive than the average nursing bra.

I decided to try this longline thinking I could wear it under those muscle tank tops and look really hip with my longline showing but I actually like this bra for EVERYDAY. If you can believe it, this is sort of smoothing bc if you are like me and have a roll under your bra... this one will obviously smooth you out while being really soft and pretty! Yes the cups are soft which is fine with me and its easy to put on.
5 Stars from top to bottom on this bra! Thank you Freya!

Good fit and shape. Very smooth under clothes. I would like it more if it were more comfortable. If I'm standing a lot I like it more than if I'm sitting. I find the underwire digs in after awhile. Great separati. Though. My boobs never touch which I love.

I bought this last month and love it! I usually have trouble with finding a bra. I am 5'8" and a 34G so I want support, comfort, and something that isn't going to cause underarm or back fat bulges. FOUND it! It is not itchy or jabbing with the wire and covers very well. The straps are soft but supportive. I have broad shoulders and these straps might be too broad for someone with really narrow shoulders. If you are average to broad shouldered they are great. Where the lace at the top of the cup is sewn to the cloth on the bottom of the cup, the impression of the seam can be seen through a soft silky shirt because it is a little thicker.

I've been wearing the Anita basic nursing bras for 2 rounds of nursing, and I love them. They recently got too big, so I decided to try this in a smaller size. The fit is great and offers excellent support. The fabric is a little thicker than the basic (5036) I think, but still totally flexible and doesn't get in the way when you're pulling the cups down to nurse. My only complaint, and the thing that's most different from the other style, is that this bra seems to lift and shape more, so that under clothes I just feel like my breasts look a little bit high and the tiniest bit pointy. That's not my favorite thing, but it's not bad enough to offset having a bra that's both really snug and super comfortable.

I ordered this bra by reading the reviews. I am very small (107), and bras are very hard to find. This is very comfortable and does not show lines in shirts. I am able to wear it on the second of three hooks...which gives me another hook when the bra gets a bit older and needs to be tightened. I also bought the nude one. Great choice as well.

I'm a 32gg in Panache and got this one in 32h but the cups were too small. I should have hh or i cup size. This was my forest time trying this brands.
The straps are just barely long enough to maybe becomfortable at their longest setting. I am 5'8".
The material is gorgeous. The stretch material in the lining is soft and luxurious.
I am used to a rounded shape and this one was more pointy. (More pointy than Panache Tango.) Also the cups are angled out and down. But I can see how a bit of a point could be a slimming look. My girls looked smaller than their usual 8D, rounded fullness.

I bought 34F. Normally I get 34G, but the 34F is a perfect fit. I will give it four stars, mostly because the nude fit more comfortably than the black one. The black bra seems to fit tighter. The bra lifts me, and I thought the cups were slightly big when I first tried. However, after some adjustment to the strap, it was perfect. I wear it under shirts, though I still like T-shirt bras with some light padding.

This is a gorgeous high quality well made (thick fabric, soft!) bra. I wanted to keep it so bad, but it wasn't a good fit for me unfortunately. The convert me feature gave me a size that seemed as though it would be way to large, but I ordered it anyway, and the cups were too small, straps way too long for me as well. If I had all the sizes to try on I could probably get a good fit, but it's hard to estimate when you are ordering on line (and wearing the wrong bra in the 1st place) The band size is spot on. I would recommend getting one cup sz larger than the convert me gives you for this one. The side support comes from the cup style and construction, there are no side stays.

I've had this bra for about a month or so. It's comfortable and easy to wear. However I can only wear it with large T-shirts because it is made for wide-set breasts and I have clothes set with an arrow root. So the underwire sits too far under my armpit and my boobs look like they are headed in different directions. Also, the cup sizes run big. I am normally a hh or J in Comexim but took a gg with this bra.

I bought two of these last month and they fit well, provide excellent support, and are very pretty. For reference, I wear a 34 J and it is difficult to find a bra that covers all of these qualities in one garment. Definitely reccomend!

I have an hourglass shape (upper torso mostly rib cage), and it's not easy to find bras that fit quite right, but this one is great. Not quite parfait (perfect), but pretty close. Cups are a little smaller because of the thickness, but a larger cup might be too big.

This is the best bra to own, really. It's perfect for you if you like your boobs "facing the front", as opposed to curving at the sides. It minimizes but still gives great shape. If you don't want your cleavage out and are wearing a low cut top, this may show cleavage. I have other bras that separate at the cleavage since I don't like the cleavage shebang. I love this bra and I am buying more!

I bought this for a dress that needed a strapless. It worked perfectly without the straps!! True to size, and I have problems finding good ones for my size 32J. If you choose to wear with the straps, I have found that they aren't the most comfortable but it's not horrible.
